Yea not sure what size yet, 255/75/17, 265/70/17, or 285/70/17 and 1.25" spacers. We will see I still have tread left so I am thinking end of summer when desert season begins out here.

What makes you say that? I have had pizza cutters for awhile and love them.
Good article to read about skinny vs. wide tires if you are going for anything other than look

Thanks for the article blairb. By the way I am a fan of your 4runner. Did or do you have any rubbing issues with your 255/80's? I am sitting around 3.5" taller than stock in the front and a little over a inch in the rear.

1. Lift brand & size/style
Front:
Icon 2.5" Remote Reservoir extended travel CO's (3.5" lift)
Icon Upper Control Arms
Rear:
Icon 2.5" Piggyback Reservoir shocks
Icon adjustable Panhard Bar
Coil Spring Specialties springs (4" lift)
2. Tire brand & size
Toyo Open Country MT 295/70R17
MethodRace Wheels, 17x8.5
3. Like the results? or Would you do anything different?
Very happy with current set up.  I originally had Downey Offroad rear springs with 1.5" of lift. They rode great but they weren't able to handle the load with gear in the back. I switched to Icon rear springs which gave 2.5" lift. The rode great and handled the weight of gear in the back. Once I got the CBI rear bumper I switched the Icon springs out for the the CSS custom springs.

Sorry for the delayed response. Yeah I do get some rubbing issues, but they are not too terrible. Depending on if I am running wheel spacers or not I would rub the body mount or the frame. Now that I cut the body mount I am pretty much good though.
